Not a model number. Look for "Model" on the product label.

Thanks for the indirect pointer to the very long thread. My quick
look at it suggested that enabling Telnet access to the router would be
needed to do the actual work.
How, exactly, would you suggest that a victim do that, considering
that Netgear seems to have broken the usual scheme in every R7000
firmware version after V1.0.9.42_10.2.44"?

Or am I missing something?
